Close - it was from making Nevada use the same font software/libraries
for mkfontdir/etal. that OpenSolaris does (i.e. the open source Xorg
ones instead of the encumbered Xsun ones), to reduce that set of
differences between the two releases, and the install not being updated
to match in time.   Theres a fix going into install in nv_100 that
should fix many, if not all, of the install methods.
